a look at what's trending-on-line. you know how you have the oscars that celebrate the best. you've got the razzies which kind of outlines the worst. and so what was the worst film according to the razzy awards? the "twilight" saga, "breaking dawn part 2." and the cast took a beating, racking up six other dishonorable awards. kristen stewart won for worst actress. taylor lautner won for worst supporting actor and bill condon, worst director, ouch. now i'll be back at 4:00 eastern time with these stories. the daytona 500 goes on, but some nascar fans will watch from the hospital after yesterday's

horrific accident. we'll have a live report from the track and a new scandal, could not come at a worse time for the vatican. i'll speak with a journalist, one of the few who was actually, who has actually spoken to the pope. i'm fredricka witfield, stay with cnn, "the next list" starts right now. they're innovators, game changers, people pushing themselves, moving us all forward. they're the next scientists musicians, poets. the next makers, dreamers, teachers, geniuses, these are "the next list." welcome to the next list, i'm dr. sanjay gupta, diana eng is on a mission to bring science to the fashion world. diana blends cutting-edge

technology with design concepts from nature and science to create clothing and accessories with a rich story. >> it's like technology, math and science and how to integrate that into a fashion design. >> she painstakingly researches her design, sometimes for years, counting inspiration if some very unlikely places. >> those are real lady bugs. >> cnn zoraida sambolin takes us on a surprising jour any into the mind and designs of diana ang. >> that is so clever. >> i like to work with electronics in fashion. and it's kind of what people stereotypically think of as adding technology into a garment. i integrate did in a way where the circuit can become part of the design itself. i work with conductive thread which basically replaces wires. >> diana, this dress has some magic powers? >> no. it just -- it's electronic. and so it has some circuit

boards over here and they have microcontrollers in them so that basically like a little computer. and then there's a microphone over here. so the microphone kind of senses if there's sound. and then the little computer over here will make these l.e.d.s light up. they're all connected with this conductive thread to the little computer. >> this -- >> this is conductive thread. so it has conductive thread instead of wires. i feel like as the designer, i ultimately want to create products that people can create to. >> would somebody wear this. >> i've actually, i've won this to a whole bunch of different fashion week things. >> it's a conversation starter. >> i feel like my company, because it's small, i'm kind of at the threshold. if there's a new technology or something that they can't produce that much of, i can grab that technology or that manufacturing process and put it

into my product. a large company like the gap wanted to, they wouldn't be able to because they wouldn't have enough of the new material. think all of my products are kind of new innovations as they're just starting to come to market. >> this is a thermochromatic scarf i've created. one of the my favorite materials to work with the is thermo chromatic. when you wear this scarf in cold temperatures, the snowflakes appear and the snowflakes grow larger as the temperature gets colder. i jut an ice pack underneath. when the temperature drops below 65, a small snowflake will appear on the scarf. at 32 degrees it's colder and the snowflake on the scarf will grow larger. >> how do you do that? >> with the thermo chromatic. this is thermo chromatic powder and you can basically mix the powder with ink. i tried to make clothing and accessories that have a story to

tell. and the story could be something about a new technology maybe it's creating laser cut lace. >> this is our laser cutter. you can use it to cut and etch wood, acrylic, paper. you can etch glass with it. i use it to distress t-shirts. >> i thought why not make t-shirts that are distressed in specific places to create a lace pattern. >> it's beautiful but it looks really delicate. >> they're durable. i machine wash mine all the time. >> for example this one i was trying to cut flower shapes because i thought, that would be nice, we could have some flowers, but the reality is when you wear it it's not going to look like a flower at all. this is going to become all stretched out. it's going to be something else. so i started doing research and i found that cells are kind of similar. so i started looking at flower cells. because i felt like maybe those are kind of cell shapes that

will have a little bit more femininity to them. a little bit more delicate. i used those as inspiration for creating the distressed t-shirt patterns. it can take me two or three years to design something because i'm carefully gathering little bits and pieces of the story. together to create my design. i search for special materials. i really search for them. i will go all over the garment district to find them. i really want where the materials are from to be a part of the story. >> we're at a craft jewelry supply, a warehouse full of vintage jewelry and findings. it's 5,000 square feet of stuff. how do you know what you're looking for? >> you don't. i feel like it's a jungle sort of in a way. different jewelry parts. i kind of like the whole treasure hunting aspect of it.

>> these look like they're vintage earrings, clip-on earrings, i like them because the colors and patterns are really different. so this is thread that was used in french uniforms during the '20s, i picked it out because it was shiny. but then i noticed it's a little bit cool to the touch. so i think it has metal in it. i'm curious it take it back it my studio and see if it's conductive. >> it's really conductive. there is no resistance. >> it's amazing. this is so cool. i'm so excited. >> in the 1920s they had conductive thread. >> they look at the unlikely tools of the fashion designer. í

i've always had to keep my eye on her... but, i didn't always watch out for myself. with so much noise about health care... i tuned it all out. with unitedhealthcare, i get information that matters... my individual health profile. not random statistics. they even reward me for addressing my health risks. so i'm doing fine... but she's still going to give me a heart attack. we're more than 78,000 people looking out for more than 70 million americans. that's health in numbers. unitedhealthcare. it's lots of things. all waking up. connecting to the global phenomenon we call the internet of everything. ♪ it's going to be amazing. and exciting.

and maybe, most remarkably, not that far away. we're going to wake the world up. and watch, with eyes wide, as it gets to work. cisco. tomorrow starts here. now, this is a test drive. whoa! you can really el all 335 foot-pounds of torque. it's chevy truck month! the silverado is also recognized for the lowest cost of ownership. hey, what are you gonna do with it? end table. oh. [ male announcer ] it's chevy truck month. get 0% financi for 60 months, eeplus trade up to get $1,750 total allowance on a silverado all-star edition or trade up and choose customer cash, plus option package discount for a total value of $7,250. offer ends soon. there's nothing like our grilled lobster and lobster tacos. the bar harbor bake is really worth trying. [ male announcer ] get more during red lobster's lobsterfest. with the year's largest selection of mouth-watering lobster entrees. like our delicious lobster lover's dream, featuring two kinds of succulent lobster tails.

or our savory, new grilled maine lobster and lobster tacos. it's back, but not for long. [ woman ] our guests go crazy for lobsterfest. my favorite entree is the lobster lover's dream. what's yours? come celebrate lobsterfest and sea food differently. we're at an electronic arts collective based in brooklyn. i'm one of the co-founders along with eight other people. we started this space in 2007. nyc resistor is a hacker space and it's a community of people who get together to learn, make and share things. we're a diverse community that the prerequisite for being a member was that you had to have ninja skills at doing something. it's grown to roughly 35 members. with a variety of backgrounds, ranging from paper engineer and

fashion designer to electrical engineer and computer programmer. >> these are a bunch of projects that are made by members here at nyc resistor. and most of the projects are collaborations between a bunch of members who just get a good idea and think, hey, let's make that. so this over here is our bar box, a drink-serving robot. it's a hacked slot machine, mix a drink at random for you and deposit into your cup. it makes very strong drinks, sometimes it tastes like they've been made bay robot but some of the drinks are surprisingly good, actually. it's been very exciting being able to be with the group of people who are in resistor. a lot of other start-ups have come out of resistor as well. i feel like we all kind of started our companies and decided to branch out at the same time. they have a whole bunch of electronics equipment. so i feel like whenever i'm doing the technical development

inside the things, i'll go to nyc resistor. we're at nyc resistor's tool town and tool town started when one person had a drill press and another person had a saw. over time we slowly acquired bigger tools. so i condition firm that the family i'm making was just part of the family. my husband also enjoys making things and hopefully we'll have a family who makes things as well. i guess we kind of met each other by collaborating on projects. he made an electro luminescent controller forea dress i was wearing. i was a geek when i was growing up. i was always interested in science and math and computer programming. i had mathematic project on spiro laterals and i competed in

the international science fair. i think it taught me a lot about experimentation, which is what i still use in my designs. because they were very thorough about making sure that you used the scientific method. i went to the special nerdy person high school when i was a kid. and i used to have all of these photo shoots with my friends when i was in high school and have like fashion photo shoot and dress all my friends up and then have this big all-day thing where i would take pictures of them dressed in different outfits i had made and they d didn't have innovative materials when i was in high school in jacksonville, florida, so i would use things like plastic bags from walmart and trash bags and strange paper i found. i had understanding patient friends. i started working with technology in fashion when i was a sophomore in college. >> rhode island school of designing. >> i took an electronics for

artists class my sophomore year. it was taught by a really awesome professor named paul badger and he introduced me to microcontrollers. like the basic stamp. we all started integrating the technology into our art projects. which for me was fashion. and i worked with some other people in my class to create an inflatable dress. that was my first wearable. >> after college, i missed graduation for filming a project runway season two. i brought a bumplg of my wearable wearable technology projects on the show when i was having an interview. i think that's where i was able to show people for the first time that i was doing wearable technology also. i was really scared that the magnets wouldn't work and then they didn't. >> it got kick off halfway through the season. >> i feel like it really help immediate learn how to market myself. i thought that was a really interesting experience. how can i put my best foot

forward. >> diana is putting her best fashion forward in innovative new ways. up next, turning bugs into jewelry. hey. they're coming. yeah. british. later. sorry. ok...four words...black monkey? a baboon? hot stew saturday!? ronny: hey jimmy, how happy are folks who save hundreds of dollars switching to geico? jimmy: happier than paul revere with a cell phone. ronny: why not? anncr: get happy. get geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more.

i consider myself an innovator because i really like to explore ha can be done. it's not always new technology. sometimes i'm looking at old technologies or how things used to be manufactured. i feel like since i'm a small company i'm able to really explore different techniques and different materials and then incorporate them into all my products to make them special. >> those are real lady bugs? >> my lady bug pin is a pin that's designed to look lake a real lady bug. it's actually made out of silver and hand-painted enamel. >> the idea is that you would wear it on your shirt and it

would look like you have a real lady bug on your shirt. >> i guess with the lady bug pin i researched all the different species and i was really surprised there was so many different colors and patterns of lady bugs. >> this one is metallic blue color. this one is hot pink this one is purple. this one has like bandage stripes on it. >> i think that i just get really involved with the design process and while i'm working through it, i spend a lot of time researching and then i always find something that's super interesting to mow ae and want to share it with other people. >> it's so tiny, how do you work with things that tine judge. >> it's molded from a real lady bug. >> these are real lady bugs? >> yeah, you can compare it to my pin and see how accurate my pin is. >> they are identical. >> i feel like there's kind of like an element of discovery with a lot of my different designs. like maybe you're learning about something that you didn't think existed when you were buying one

of my designs. maybe you find out how something works like in the case of the farfalle pasta necklace. >> these are some prototypes of a farfalle bowtie pasta necklace i'm developing. this he is are made out of the pasta. i started out. i wanted it play with the idea of hand-painted pasta. maybe as a mom you've received some macaroni necklaces. >> and this is your inspiration? >> yes. so i basically bought a box of macaroni and started painting them with acrylic paint and these were the designs i liked the most. i was looking at a lot of pictures on pinterest and people were hand-painting different macaroni and pasta and making them into necklaces. i kind of remember when i was a child i also made macaroni necklaces for my mom. i thought it would be neat to have that as almost like fine jewelry. so you could permanently have a cute pasta to wear. >> what is it about this design of the bowtie pasta that you

like so much? >> i like it as a necklace, because when you wear it as a necklace, it looks lying you're wearing a bowtie. like this black one over here. >> oh my goodness. >> it's like you have a bowtie and it's a pasta. >> it's molded from a real far dpmpb alle pasta. but then it's made out of brass and some are made out of sterling silver. we're at lauren tiffany casting which is where i get my lady bug pins and my new farfalle bowtie necklace made. >> you could be shipping all your stuff or have it be made overseas somewhere as opposed to here. why is this so important to you? >> we're in the jewelry district and i feel it's important to support local manufactures. i like that they're a family-owned business. >> today they're making the farfalle necklaces. these are basically a bowtie pasta. i brought a bowtie pasta here.

an actual piece of pasta and they created a mold of it. now it's being created in brass. >> i like manufacturing with lauren tiffany because i kind of feel like their things are hand-made. not made by machine and a lot of the times now i especially if you manufacture overseas, everything is made by machine. so it comes out absolutely perfect. like there's no hand refining, no polishing and the stuff from lauren tiffany has all of this individual character to it. it really makes each one special. because they're all unique. like no two pasta necklasts are the same. >> diana has no problem incorporating old school techniques into her high-tech design. next, teaching the art of tech and fashion to teens. [ male announcer ] you are a business pro. executor of efficiency.

you can spot an amateur from a mile away... while going shoeless and metal-free in seconds. and you...rent from national. because only national lets you choose any car in the aisle...and go. you can even take a full-size or above, and still pay the mid-size price. now this...will work. [ male announcer ] just like you, business pro. just like you. go national. go like a pro.

all right, give me a spot. you know my motto: safety first. they could be dangerous. i think we should call animal control. animal control? psh. to be safe... don't worry. i got this. it's a new motto. announcer: you don't have to be perfect to be a perfect parent. there are thousands of teens in foster care who don't need perfection, they need you.

today we're at moma, the museum of modern art in new york city. i'm here to teach the click-it moma class is one of the make-it classes. the 22 students come from all over new york city. it's really a chance for them get hands on into making art because a lot of the art

programs have been cut from schools here. i'm teaching the wearable technology course. so we're looking at different ways that technology can be made wearable. today we're going to be starting work on our final garments. >> like four on the thing and two on the side. >> today is the first day that the students are working on their final projects. so they're basically putting together all the elements that they've been learning in our sort of introductory classes to create garment of their own design. >> each piece of the l.e.d. strip needs to be connected to the battery pack. >> it's going to come out through here. i'm going to make everything hook on. >> when i'm working with students, i like to start by demoing a technology for them and showing them how the technology works. >> we're going to sew a loop around this strip like this. there is a little bit of magic in how electronics works and this gets the kids excited about how to integrate the technology

into the pieces that they're creating. >> working on a dress. i want to add lights to it and maybe like diana can help me program those lights. >> i have noticed when i show the students new technology or a new technique to work with, that sometimes a light bulb goes off and they're like, wow, that's amazing, like i didn't know i could make that. i think they're really just connected from the technologies they use, they all have cell phones but they don't necessarily know what goes into making a cell phone. >> working on an l.e.d. dress and a video dress. and it's like going to come around, wrap around. >> one of the great things about teaching at moma is we're able to draw inspiration for our explorations from the galleries, we were looking at monet's "water lilys" and were exploring different shapes and textures. the students took videos of different art pieces and
